TeleHealth Database Overview
- The small, compact database will function as both a diagnostic aid for untrained or uneducated people, and as a medical reference for doctors in third world countries, working in remote areas without access to formal medical resources.
- It will possibly be supplemented with Javascript/SVG based animations.
- It will eventually be composed of the:
- central reference database
- based on the XTerm Medical Dictionary
- documentation for the TeleHealth Module
- an expert-system diagnosis aid
- Based on PyClips?
- The biggest problem here is legal liability, a hefty disclaimer may be needed.
- User:DyD has collected some diagnosis aids used by a local hospital.
- central reference database
Ian Daniher has been corresponding with Aurelian, creator of XTerm_Medical_Dictionary, and he has graciously offered to license the database allow OLPC and direct affiliates access and an ability to freely distribute it.
